Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Where does acetyl coA go after the link reaction?
A
Glycolysis
B
Electron transprot chain
C
Krebs cycle
D
Ctyoplasm
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In the Krebs cycle, acetyl coenzyme A produced by the link reaction joins the 4-carbon compound oxaloacetic acid (or oxaloacetate) to form the 6-carbon compound citric acid (or citrate). Then, in a series of reactions, oxaloacetic acid is regenerated from citric acid.

Detailed explanation-2: -After the second turn through the Krebs cycle, the original glucose molecule has been broken down completely. All six of its carbon atoms have combined with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. The energy from its chemical bonds has been stored in a total of 16 energy-carrier molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -In Summary: Pyruvate Oxidation The resulting acetyl CoA can enter several pathways, but most often, the acetyl group is delivered to the citric acid cycle for further catabolism.
